I would like NY to change Take Five to a jackpot game. AFAIK the state legislature would have to approve it.

Oh, okay. I thought you found something in the article that you found surprising, and that you were just using the same words (twisted for fun). I didn't see anything very surprising, so wondered what you saw. LOL

They expect to pay 600k in taxes total? That is close to 45%. They better pick up a boatload of losing tickets off the floor as this year goes on
